Optifast Day 1 (2 wk. pre-op liquid diet)

Optifast Day 1

Today is my first day of optifast. I have to be on it 2 weeks prior to my lapband surgery. I finally forced myself to drink my first one just an hour ago. It didn't taste too bad (chocolate) but the smell made me wanna gag a little. I had to not think about the smell. I think I'll drink it through a straw the next time. Maybe that'll help. Oh God help me to suck it up and be able to do it!

Hey, im day 2 of my optifast diet and i have vanilla i have to down my drinks or i will gag LOL good luck  with it all :)

My husband said vanilla is nasty. He even tried mixing it with diet rootbeer and diet orange pop. I just found my paperwork and it says I have to drink 5 shakes, eat 2 bars, and 1 lean cuisine. YAY! I won't starve to death afterall. I didn't know I could have the lean cuisine since my husband wasn't allowed. But I found out that it's because my BMI is higher than his. Yeah, I chugged that shake so hard I gave myself a brain freeze. I didn't want to even taste it I just wanted it over with lol. Good luck on yours. Are you allowed to eat anything?

Hello, i can only mix mine with water or ice but can add crystal light  still nasty lol  but the optifast is all we are allowed to have other then unlimited water, green tea, tea, and black coffee  so all im having is unlimited water and the opticrap LOL  you have it awesome with the extras :) thats all i do is chugg mine till its gone then all of have is the after taste lol  what surgery are you having im getting a gastric bypass done Jan 31  in Guelph Ont  :) again goodluck !!!!

Opticrap...lol I like that! I'm having the lapband done Feb. 1st if all goes well. I have to have a heart cath. thursday to get clearance for surgery. I hope everything goes ok. It seems like I've had to jump through hoops to have this surgery done. First anti-depressants, then councelling, now a heart cath. Ugh! What a pain! 

My husband says he adds instant coffee to the chocolate optifast. He says it tastes way better and that's the only way he liked it. I guess i'm going to have to try that. He says it's like a mochachinno. I highly doubt it but we'll see...lol
